Deal closed – Man United outcast could be gone by tuesday

It appeared to be a huge coup when Man United managed to sign Alexis Sanchez despite strong competition from their city rivals for his signature.

Since then he’s looked unfit and hasn’t lived up to expectations at Old Trafford.

According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, inter Milan are close to reaching an agreement with United and the Chilean might be in Milan to finalize the deal as soon as Tuesday.

Alexis Sanchez

A story in the Sun last week claimed Sanchez earned over £500k every week at Man United so it’s clear to ascertain why they would love to get him off their books, even if they can’t find a team willing to cover his entire wage.

When you consider Sanchez is now the wrong side of thirty and appears fully out of form it makes sense that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would want to move on from him.

He’s only managed three league goals in thirty-two games for United and has been a complete disappointment since signing.

A come back to Serie A might be a perfect move for him. Sanchez originally came to the attention of European football fans during a spell with Udinese.

The league is usually played at a slower tempo where players with great technical ability stand out, so he wouldn’t be as physically exposed as he’s in the Premier League.

The Premier League transfer window is now closed so United wouldn’t be able to sign a replacement, however, they might use the money saved to hand out a new contract for someone like David de Gea.
